Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy

Here at Imagination Therapy I can help you resolve the sort of personal issues that are all-too-common in all walks of life (in higher education, the workplace or at home), like anxiety, stress, low self-worth and perfectionism, whether you're a student or a member of staff, or anyone else. Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH) is typically a relatively short-term treatment (such as 4-10 sessions), underpinned by extensive peer-reviewed scientific research, that seeks to give you the necessary tools and skills to help you to overcome problems and become more resilient in the future.  Skills training for long-term resilience is an integral part of CBH.

Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy is fully evidence-based and integrated with recognised, tried and tested cognitive behavioural psycho-therapeutic techniques and models. Hypnotherapy draws on the power of your own imagination in helping you find the solutions to your problems. It fully integrates hypnosis  - focused attention on a dominant idea - with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques. If you suffer from anxiety, stress or low self-esteem then you already know the power of your mind - your imagination - your thoughts and feelings and the power of your own (negative) story telling. CBH uses that power for positive change - to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviour and bring about real and lasting change. In this way all hypnotherapy is imagination therapy and I can help you harness your own resources to solve your problems, tailoring treatment specifically to you and your situation.
